rest-to-graphql

# REST to GraphQL Converter Got a REST API and want GraphQL? Point this at your routes and get a complete schema with types, queries, and mutations. No manual translation required. **One command. Zero config. Just works.** ## Quick Start ```bash npx ai-rest-to-graphql ./src/routes ``` ## What It Does - Analyzes your REST endpoints and generates equivalent GraphQL schema - Converts CRUD operations to queries and mutations - Generates TypeScript types alongside the schema - Maps REST resources to GraphQL types with proper relationships - Includes resolver stubs that call your existing REST handlers ## Usage Examples ```bash # Convert routes directory npx ai-rest-to-graphql ./src/routes # Single resource npx ai-rest-to-graphql ./src/routes/users.ts # Include resolver implementations npx ai-rest-to-graphql ./src/routes --with-resolvers # Output to specific file npx ai-rest-to-graphql ./src/routes -o ./schema.graphql # Keep REST as datasource npx ai-rest-to-graphql ./src/routes --wrap-rest ``` ## Best Practices - **Start with core resources** - Don't convert everything at once - **Review the generated types** - AI maps fields but check the relationships - **Use as a migration guide** - The output shows you the GraphQL equivalent - **Consider a gateway approach** - Wrap REST with GraphQL instead of replacing ## When to Use This - Adding GraphQL to an existing REST API - Exploring what your API would look like in GraphQL - Building a BFF layer over microservices - Learning GraphQL by seeing your own data modeled ## Part of the LXGIC Dev Toolkit This is one of 110+ free developer tools built by LXGIC Studios.
